The Emory at North Grove expected to open late summer 2026
ST. LOUIS, MO—November 12, 2025— St. Louis-based real estate developer Mia Rose Holdings, LLC (MRH) is bringing its signature quality and design expertise to Texas with a new luxury mixed-use development in Waxahachie, located just 30 minutes south of the Dallas–Fort Worth metroplex. Ground has been prepped, walls are rising, and the project is moving steadily toward its planned opening in late summer 2026.
“Texas is booming, and Waxahachie is a city on the rise,” said Tom Kaiman, Founder of Mia Rose Holdings. “We saw an ideal combination of growth, opportunity, and community charm — everything we look for in a market. The Emory at North Grove allows us to bring Mia Rose’s approach to modern, luxury living to a city that is growing fast and thinking big.”
Mia Rose Holdings partnered with real estate professional Tim Breece, who introduced the project opportunity, and Bradbury Construction, led by Dalton Bradbury, to bring The Emory at North Grove to life. “Strong local partnerships are key to our success,” Kaiman noted. “Tim and Dalton share our commitment to quality, community, and delivering projects that exceed expectations.”
The Emory at North Grove will offer high-end mid-rise apartments, garage parking, a resort-style saltwater pool, state-of-the-art fitness center, elevators, and more—all in an unbeatable location. Waxahachie is an historic town with beautiful old architecture, active tourism drawn in with art and cultural events, quality schools, excellent employment opportunities, and plenty of parks and recreation.
Waxahachie itself provides the ideal backdrop for the project. Founded in 1850, the city combines historic charm, Victorian architecture, vibrant cultural and arts events, quality schools, and abundant parks and recreation. Its population has grown steadily, from just over 37,000 in 2019, to 41,140 in 2020, and 48,617 in 2024, fueled by an influx of families, professionals, and businesses drawn to the city’s small-town character and proximity to DFW.
The Emory gets its name from one of the area’s early settlers. Emory W. Rogers migrated to Texas from Alabama in 1839 and donated the land that became the town of Waxahachie.
And business is booming, too, with employment opportunities in agriculture, education, retail, hospitality and tourism, transportation/distribution, and especially major commercial industry, including Owens Corning, Georgia-Pacific, International Paper, James Hardie Industries, Berry Global, Americase, Cardinal Glass, Magnablend, and Dart Container.
“This is exactly the type of market Mia Rose Holdings looks for,” Kaiman continued. “Waxahachie offers a rare combination of heritage, growth, and economic opportunity — a place where a thoughtfully designed luxury community can truly enhance the neighborhood and support its continued expansion.”
For Mia Rose Holdings, Waxahachie represents the perfect blend of heritage, growth, and opportunity — a community where residents and businesses alike can thrive.
